3.4.13.1 Environmental Aspects
However, in designing this town, two of the main considerations have been to
protect the environment and to enhance nature. These have been achieved by leaving
free spaces for parks, gardens, trees, forests, vegetable, fruit and flower plantation
and even wilderness. Also, provision has been made to reduce air, noise and land
pollution.
3.4.13.2 Parks and Gardens
Parks have been recognised as instruments of social health: They are recreational
places for people to relax and enjoy. People with access to parks would be less prone
to stress, disease, crime and social discontent.
Parks, gardens as well as roof top planting and flower plantation enhances the
beauty of the town.
3.4.13.3 Vegetation
The presence of vegetation helps reduce pollution, improves rainwater collection,
and it provides recreational sites for people, thereby reducing urban stress. Green
spaces can also add considerably to the urban food supply.
